Comment
South Melbourne (VFL) Seconds circa 1951. The SLV’s date - 1947 - is a mistake. I myself cannot discern ‘1947’ on the jackets. In any case, Fred Goldsmith, who played his first senior game with South in 1951 (before going on to win the Brownlow Medal in 1955) is in the back row. In 1947, Goldsmith (born August 1932) would have been barely out of primary school. Players identified are:Fred Goldsmith (third from right in the top row, 119 senior games, 1951-59); Bob Giles (extreme right of top row, 67 senior games, 1949-55); Les Williams (third player from left of middle row - captain?, 48 senior games, 1947-51); possibly Nick Gelavis (extreme right of middle row, 15 senior games, 1953-54); Reg Harley (third from right in front row, 61 senior games, 1948-52).
